Our organization has one annual fundraiser: The Madison Valley Arts Festival including our popular art raffle. The proceeds from the Madison Valley Arts Festival allows us to give back to our community. Our community donations are to the Madison Valley Public Library, Shakespeare in the Schools, Madison County Fair Art Awards, Ennis School Science Fair Awards, and Madison Farm to Fork: Good Thyme Summer Camp. The Ennis Arts Association also awards art-related Tuition Scholarships to graduating seniors in local high schools.

The Madison Valley Arts Festival is an outdoor event (held rain or shine) on the historic trail between Yellowstone National Park and Virginia City, a path well- traveled by tourists visiting the state’s national parks and historic landmarks, and fly fishing the Madison River.
